If you clocked Lisa‘s nails at last night’s Met Gala, you aren’t alone. They were everything.
Working with Celebrity manicurist, Juan Alvear, her nails were directly inspired by the singer-actress’s gown by Robert Wun. Alvear says, “The nails were a nod to Robert Wun’s notorious elemental play. In this case, the nails drew inspiration from the Bvlgari jewelry freezing over.”
Read on to see how he customized Kiss Nails products to create this stunning set.
Get the Look:
- Start with clean dry nails. Find the right size nail from the Kiss GLAM collection in the “Day & Night” set and lay them out.
- Gently push back cuticles with the cuticle stick included then use the mini file and gently buff the surface of each nail to remove any shine. Clean the surface of each nail prior to application.
- Place a drop of the nail glue on the middle of the nail bed, and a very thin even coat on the Kiss nail.
- Line up the edge of the Kiss nail to the edge of the cuticle and press down. Hold it securely in place and let the glue set.
- Next, using KISS Powerflex Precision Nail Glue ($3.99 at kissusa.com, ulta.com, amazon.com, and walmart.com) apply a crystal layout on each nail in a clustered and scattered formation.
- Finally, create a frost effect on the tips of each nail using your favorite top coat and a fine fiber/fluff, then finish with a matte top coat for a diffused, icy look.
